If I build a document from scratch using a DocumentBuilder and then serialize it out, it seems to not do any validation. I'm able to create a completely invalid document, even with validation turned on. I'm using XML schema ather than a DTD, if that matters, and creating the association with the document by adding the appropriate attributes to the root node (my last message with subject "XmlSerializer putting xmlns="" on children of root element" has more details on my setup).
Is there anyway to make validation occur short of reparsing the entire document (like say, feeding an output stream from the serializer back into the DocumentBuilder)? I can understand that validation could not occur on building...until completely built it would not be valid. But it seems silly to have to serialize an existing DOM tree to text and then rebuild a new DOM tree to validate it.
